The PPP Agency is part of the Ministry of Economy and is a state-owned non-profit organization whose activities are based on cooperation with executive bodies, other state authorities, and local self-government bodies to implement measures aimed at high-quality preparation and implementation of investment-attractive projects in Ukraine in the field of subsoil use and infrastructure covered by the Agreement between the Government of Ukraine and the Government of the United States of America on the Establishment of the US-Ukraine Reconstruction Fund (URF) (ratified by Law of Ukraine No. 4417-IX of May 8, 2025), projects within the framework of public investment management (PIM), PPP and concession projects, including with the support and in close cooperation with international financial organizations (IFOs) and development finance institutions (DFIs).

In order to strengthen the institutional capacity of the PPP Agency, we are looking for qualified specialists and experts to implement tasks in two strategic areas of activity:

I. Representing Ukraine’s interests in the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Fund. 

The United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Fund (URF) is a joint initiative of the Ukrainian and US governments, created to attract private investment in strategically important sectors of the Ukrainian economy.  The fund was officially launched on May 23, 2025.

On November 5, 2025, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine adopted a resolution “On Certain Issues of Ensuring the Implementation of the Agreement between the Government of Ukraine and the Government of the United States of America on the Establishment of the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Fund,” confirming Ukraine’s readiness to deepen economic cooperation with the United States and jointly implement large-scale investment projects in strategic sectors.

II. Implementation of the new state policy on public-private partnerships (PPPs) in accordance with the new legislation.

The long-awaited draft law No. 7508, which amends PPP legislation and simplifies the mechanisms for attracting private investment, was adopted in June 2025 and came into force on October 31, 2025. This means that new opportunities are now opening up for infrastructure and economic restoration, not only through budgetary funding, but also through collaboration with businesses and international donors. PPP and concession projects will be one of the key mechanisms for the country’s recovery, particularly with regard to public infrastructure.
